The workshop will provide information on how to transform ideas of starting a nonprofit into a viable, operational organization and to simplify the process. Those that complete the workshop will be equipped with the tools needed to form a non-profit organization.

Topics covered during the session will include: the steps for setting up a non-profit organization; the difference between a non-profit and for a profit organization; the six components of non-profit infrastructure; and how the 990 form needs to be completed and filed.
